Ge Fanuc IC660EBD020 , Electronic Assembly Block Is A 16-Circuit Source/Sink Input And Output Block

Technical Information

The IC660EBD020 electronic assembly block is a 16-circuit source/sink input and output block. It is an intelligent and configurable module manufactured by GE Fanuc to interface to several discrete DC actuators and sensors. The IC660EBD020 block is part of the Genius I/O product family and it comes in 2 versions that can provide current to the field output devices. One of the DC 16-circuit source block versions is the 24/48 Volts DC type which is mainly for use with the 3-wire electromechanical and solid-state sensors. The other version is the 24 Volts DC type which is made for use with the 2-wire and 3-wire electromechanical and solid-state sensors. Additionally, these 2 DC 16-circuit sink blocks can both receive current from the field output devices. These 2 blocks are identical except for their voltage ratings.

Like most Genius I/O blocks, the IC660EBD020 block weighs approximately 1.8 kilograms and it measures 8.83 x 3.56 x 4.42 inches. Additionally, it features 1500 Volts of voltage block isolation and it has individual load side LEDs on each circuit. Other properties of this block include a selectable input filter time of 5 to 100 milliseconds and field switch, over-temperature, and open-wire input diagnostics. The required DC power current rating for the IC660EBD020 block and other Genius I/O blocks is 150 milliamps typical and 300 milliamps at maximum. The block has a power supply dropout time of 10 milliseconds and 68.8 Watts heat dissipation with 16 outputs rated for 2 Amps of current.

About IC660EBD020

The IC660EBD020 electronics assembly is the electronics assembly for the IC660BBD022 circuit source I/O block. Both of these parts have been designed by GE Fanuc Automation and included in the Genius series of GE I/O blocks. This specific model includes 16 discrete inputs and outputs. This block can be used with 2 different kinds of sensors such as 3-wire solid-state sensors and electromechanical sensors. This block can provide and receive currents from these specific output devices. The GE Fanuc Automation IC660EBD020 electronics assembly includes all the circuitry and electronic components of the block. The circuits existent in the block can be configured as inputs, tristate inputs, or outputs, depending on the requirements of the applications at hand.

The GE Fanuc Automation IC660EBD020 electronics assembly comes with configurable features that help improve I/O block operations. For example, it provides an output pulse test capability and a selectable input filter time. Other features are a CPU redundancy and a “hold last state” feature for the outputs. The input processing time for this block is 5600 Ohms. The GE Fanuc Automation IC660EBD020 electronics assembly is compatible with a Genius bus controller, PCIM and QBIM modules, and with Genius handheld monitor. It operates with a voltage range of 18 to 56 Volts DC and has a maximum ripple of 10 percent. The block has a required DC power of 150 milliamps typical and 300 milliamps maximum. It can be used in an environment with a maximum temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. The block has a heat dissipation rating of 68.8 Watts and a block to block isolation of 1500 Volts.
